Chapter 353: Chapter 305: …don’t do this, I suddenly can’t bring myself to laugh.
“Teacher, where should we start with our first step?”
The bald man, whose mood had undergone a significant shift unknowingly, suddenly lost the timidity and caution he had shown in front of Chen Yi initially, and became extremely euphoric, showing a hint of excitement.
It was as if he had suddenly found a mission.
The bald man, realizing his own transformation, began to have some inner revelations. He wasn’t clear on why he no longer felt fear; perhaps he had always known that what he was doing was wrong, which was why he had always been so cautious.
But after suddenly becoming filled with positive energy, he felt fearless instead.
This fearlessness did not come from a lack of dread of death, but from knowing that what he was doing was right.
If the bald man had known the history of Blue Star…
He might have found an explanation for his change of heart in the ancient texts.
However, the culture of this planet did not have a clear explanation for such mental shifts, and Wang Zhongyi could not find a reason for his change of mood, only feeling distinctly different from before.
“…”
After a long silence, Chen Yi placed his hand gently on the bald man’s head with a soft voice, “I’m pleased with your transformation. When the new world descends and people face judgment in the kingdom of God, I will absolve you of your sins.”
“Before that, I need to know about the previous profit-making methods of your ‘Red Cavern’ forces.”
“This…”
When it came to this point, Wang Zhongyi seemed guilty, like a child who had done something wrong, standing in front of Chen Yi with his head bowed, somewhat hesitant, “Our previous methods of profit mainly came from clearing the wilderness.”
“By killing the monsters in the wild, we would acquire enough living resources and sell them at high prices to the residents.”
“Understood.”
Chen Yi nodded his head, noticing the shame on Wang Zhongyi’s face, and softly said, “Every person has sins; a person is born with sins, or perhaps the very reason you have come into this world is with sins.”
“You have come to this world to atone for your sins.”
“When your sentence is complete, you will naturally leave this prison.”
“As long as you do good deeds afterward, you will cleanse your sins.”
“Come into this world?”
Wang Zhongyi paused, with some hesitation trying to probe, “Teacher, I don’t understand what you mean by that. We didn’t quite catch it.”
…
At this moment, the players watching the live broadcast were discussing anxiously in the barrage.
‘It’s over. Is Chen Yi planning to reveal to these NPCs that they are NPCs? Even new players wouldn’t be this ignorant, right?’
‘I’m not sure either. I originally thought Chen Yi seemed to be quite intelligent, but now he suddenly seems a bit slow.’
‘Does Chen Yi not realize the consequences of revealing the truth about this game and the NPCs?’
‘Let’s just watch and see. I think Chen Yi probably won’t disclose the true nature of the game, since it wouldn’t benefit him in any way. Could it be that he wants these NPCs to realize they are just strings of data and then band together to rebel against the game to pass it this way?’
‘Stop joking. The last player who tried that is still enjoying Scavenger’s eternal buffet.’
…
“You are not from this world.”
In disbelief of all those watching the live stream, Chen Yi slowly turned around, his back to Wang Zhongyi, gazing toward the distant twilight with a distracted voice, “You originally belonged to an extremely beautiful world.”
“With the sun that appears on time every day and the gentle sunlight.”
“With the light rain that feels as comforting as the tender warmth of youth’s ambiguous love.”
“With twilight so enchanting that no matter how many times you admire it, it still moves the soul.”
“Where everyone lives in peace, everyone follows the law.”
“Where the doors need not be shut at night, and lost valuables are not coveted.”
“A world without sin, without slaughter, without crime, where everyone lives in an utterly joyful and carefree world.”
“Then…”
With some yearning, Wang Zhongyi murmured the image of that world in his mind, “Why have we come to this world filled with sin?”
“Because you were the anomalies in that world.”
Turning to face Wang Zhongyi, Chen Yi spoke calmly and deliberately, “Because you did atrocity after atrocity in that world, disrupting its peace, sullying that world.”
“So the god of that world punished all those who committed evil there by sending them to this world.”
“This world, rife with killings, is where you have been cast to atone for your sins.”
“But now —”
“The judgment of the new world is soon upon us, and all the people of this world will be subject to God’s judgment once again. If God deems that your sins have been washed away,”
“You may return to that world.”
“Otherwise, you must continue in this world, reincarnating for tens of thousands of years, bearing the consequences of your crimes.”
“…”
Wang Zhongyi blinked in bewilderment, looking at Chen Yi before him, momentarily at a loss for words.
Just moments ago, he felt passionate about bringing peace to the world, but now, how had he suddenly become marked with sin?
And according to the teacher…
He wasn’t supposed to be in this world?@@novelbin@@
But his memories told him that he had lived in this world since childhood, he was familiar with every detail of this world, with no memory of any other world. This was simply too fantastical…
